By mapping risk in a number of rapidly expanding areas and bringing good governance to the forefront of the climate change debate, the report clearly illustrates that decisions made at the global level need to take account of the effects of corruption at all levels in order to pave the way for future success in combating climate change. Contributions to the Global Corruption Report shed light on those most adversely affected by climate change: indigenous and rural poor communities in remote locations, the urban poor living in precarious settlements, and displaced persons who require resettlement.An overarching message of the Global Corruption Report is that a dramatic strengthening of governance mechanisms can reduce corruption risk and make climate change policy more effective and more successful. The quality of climate governance – the degree to which policy development and decisions are participatory, accountable, transparent, inclusive and responsive, and respect the rule of law – will help determine how well it addresses inherent corruption risks.
